It's really a 665B

I took a wild guess that the first part of the serial number might be the chassis number. It turned out to be the last part of the chassis number. That let me look it up on samswebsite.

It is a 1951 Model 665B. I'm glad it wasn't a 666. It's too close to Halloween!

The turntable does indeed call for only a single needle. That seems goofy to me. I believe the turntable model is a VM 955. That must be about right since it's a 1951 model also. The cartridge is huge and seems to barely fit. It might be original though.

I have a flip cartridge for a model 951. I'm tempted to install it. I'd have to drill a hole in the end of the tone arm though. Guess I'll leave it original for now.
